Here's a couple charts we found on line of the colored resistor value markings.
The top chart has a flaw (discovered and reported to us by Dave G.). At the bottom of the top chart where it shows "Tolorance" (mis-spelled? strange European spelling?) the Red is listed as 5% - it should be 2%! Thanks for the catch, Dave G.
